re: #343 BeachDem

Oh yes, I remember Rubino’s pizza well. Kind of funny that the Jewish burb of Bexley produced the best pizza (although, the original south end Donato’s was pretty good) and the first major successful rib joint—Damon’s. Remember when the first one opened. Yum. At one time, a major chain—now, I think it’s down to 5 or 6 total stores.

Since I went to CCAD, I’ve lived in and around the Near East side of Columbus (my rehab/recondition project 100 year old house in the former pre-war Jewish neighborhood of Olde Town East).

We used to run to Donato’s all the damn time back in the 70’s (Thurman Ave, just off Lockborne Rd.) They had killer subs and pizza. Not so much anymore…too mass produced. And Damon’s was very good too, but they got too big for their britches and went big time (like Donato’s) and killed the business. I’m surprise they have any around at all.
